Tone

This article or section requires fix up.
It will be done soon.

There are three tones, which have three different symbols. These three symbols are as follows: acute accent ( ´ ), macron ( ¯ ), and grave accent ( ` ). All it takes to change the tone of a word is one of these symbols above any one vowel in that word. So, the acute denotes a rising tone, the macron makes the word have a normal, one pitch tone, and finally, the grave indicates a lowering tone, going from at least mid-high down to a lower pitch tone.

Example text

Basis

The constituent of this language is formed from this poem, by Lewis Carroll:


Jabberwocky

by Lewis Carroll


’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”


He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.


And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.


“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.


’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
